You may use XDocument for example.

var doc = XDocument.Parse(
    @"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8"" standalone=""yes""?>
    <result>
        <country>India</country>
        <pincode>700001</pincode>
        <paymode>Prepaid</paymode>
        <service>Yes</service>
    </result>");


var country = doc.Root.Descendants().Single(d => d.Name == "country").Value;
var pincode = doc.Root.Descendants().Single(d => d.Name == "pincode").Value;
var paymode = doc.Root.Descendants().Single(d => d.Name == "paymode").Value;
var service = doc.Root.Descendants().Single(d => d.Name == "service").Value;
